In spite of always having been intrigued by 3-D, I'm not a big fan of the experience. When I've viewed dark/muddy landscapes or body parts flying towards me on the big screen, I've usually remained unimpressed.

A friend on face book, not one of hundreds I could not pick out in a police mug shot file, but an actual friend wrote, not to bother seeing Gatsby in 3D because it would take away from the flow and grand sweep of the movie. I took heed. I'm glad I did. I loved the beyond over the top excesses that took me to a world of make believe and romance. Even though I actually found myself really looking at him in Django Unchained... I did not NEED the 3D experience to finally stop resisting Leonardo DiCaprio.

Anyway, my HP printer is not functioning properly and I don’t
know why.It’s plugged in. It recognizes my computer – they are having a
dialogue that clearly states the printer is out of paper.That’s not true. Not only is there paper in the printer, I put
MORE paper in the printer several times; that is after turning it off and on
multiple times to no avail.

I have an audition and want to print out the “sides”
or the “copy” I need to read in the audition.What’s a girl to do?Write it out
by hand?Wow, that
was easily done!

I’ve been thinking about printers a lot lately ever
since I saw that 3-D printers will be able to digitize and replicate physical objects like
guns!

That’s right reproduce plastic guns. What did
Cody R. Wilson have to say when he unveiled the 3-D gun The Liberator:

"Printed guns
aren’t even proven technology and are extremely impractical devices from my
experience. But there is a symbolic advantage to the individual in being at
least capable of printing one.” *

That's what I want in the 21st century a home printed gun with a SYMBOLIC ADVANTAGE!

And now cue
the Star Trek music… Yes 3-D printers will replicate food!!

NASA has awarded Systems & Materials Research a
grant to continue work on a “universal food synthesizer”**

Mmmmm! Sign me up for burritos made by a robot and a supply of food cartridges with a 30 year shelf life.

It would be great if some global mega-corporation could make (and tax-shelter) an even bigger profit by using NON-labeled GMO as the basic elements of the food
cartridges!!
